Chapter 68: Snow Elf, send me money!
I’m about to be caught up!
The snow, as soft as cake, made it impossible to exert any force. He stepped on it with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and his poor sense of balance seriously affected Noita's escape speed.
Seeing the gliding crystal scorpion approaching rapidly, and the extremely cold air wrapped around its body about to touch its buttocks, Noita's heart exploded sharply, and she hurriedly controlled the strong wind and ice. Using solid ice as raw material, she quickly hollowed out the inside of the ice and built a simple boat that could accommodate two people.
She flung the elf into the boat, jumped aboard, and compressed the wind, creating a cannon barrel like a cannonball. The transparent barrel was pointed at a thirty-degree angle, and the ice canoe was suspended inside, acting as a cannonball. The wind had been compressed to its limit, ready to be launched.
In an instant, Noita used his psychic power to create a typhoon pressure cannon.
Noita pressed the elf under her body, sealed the outside, and at the same time used wrapping cloth to create a cushioning air cushion inside the ice ship. Even with her good temper, she was very angry about the unexpected disaster brought about by the snow elf.
She didn't care whether the snow elf was still conscious or not, and shouted, "Bad guy, I'm sure I won't die, but you'll have to leave it to fate. If you die, remember to turn into a ghoul and come to me. I'll definitely open your mouth and make you die again!"
The Crystal Scorpion, like a natural disaster, charged forward with immense force, its power far exceeding that of an ordinary Level 2 cultivator. Noita completely refused to fight. If she were to be hit, she would surely be reduced to ketchup. Noita gritted her teeth and released the restraining atmosphere.
An impact that almost shattered a person erupted from behind, and the sealed ice ship rose up with the wind, turning into a cannonball and quickly flew towards the unpredictable distance.
The crystal scorpion's face was covered with a mess by the spreading strong wind. The compressed wind bombs that blew big holes in the snow and even the ice had no effect on the crystal scorpion. It stared coldly at the direction where the ice ship disappeared, slowly returned to the node to rest, and no longer pursued it.
The remains of the remaining snow elves and crystal scorpions still remain in the cracks.
The ice ship's shells were flying at lightning speed, racing against the strong wind. Initially, the ship won, and it was even about to catch up with the speed of sound. However, the hull structure was not good, and it disintegrated and scattered halfway through the flight, like fireworks blooming in the air.
The cold wind was as sharp as a knife, blasting Noita's clothes into tatters, but it couldn't leave a wound on her face.
It's a victory for the skin.
The strong wind that slapped her face woke Noita from the dizziness caused by the vibration. The moment she woke up, the strong wind obeyed her will, lying at her feet as docile as a good dog, lifting her and the snow elf up and slowly descending.
The snow elf was still in Noita's hands, her body covered with wounds from the wind. She had fainted, and it was unclear whether she was strangled by her collar or because her injuries were too severe.
Noita threw her in the snow and built an igloo.
Since snow elves are not afraid of the cold, just let them freeze outside for a while.
After changing clothes in the igloo, Noita came to check the snow elf's injuries.
The coagulated blood stuck to the clothes and was difficult to remove, so Noita left the clothes and wound alone to avoid causing secondary damage.
Noita half-knelt down, sensing the vibrations within the snow elf's body, and suddenly his expression changed, becoming heavy.
She was about to die. Her body was in a mess, her bones and blood vessels were ruptured, and she looked like she was doomed. Even though she was a second-level professional, with her body destroyed like this, she had no choice but to die.
——Even if Noita himself was injured so badly, it would take three minutes to recover.
Now I have suffered an unexpected disaster and have not gained any benefit at all.
Noita was displeased.
But what can one do when a person is about to die? She has no interest in torturing people she meets by chance. If she wants to make a mummy, vampires are more convenient.
Noita gently dragged the snow elf into the ice house and activated the residual heat stone, allowing her to feel warmth one last time before she died.
Just treat it as humanitarian concern.
When the dying snow elf finally takes her last breath, Noita will plunder all her remaining wealth and then bury her in the ice.
In the warm ice house, Noita looked at the snow elves. She actually hated the process of waiting for people to die, which made her feel powerless. So in the game, she would directly kill those who were seriously injured and could not recover to prevent them from suffering.
But in reality, people's desire to survive is so smart and stubborn that they are calling for help from the world all the time. Until the last moment, the flame of survival is burning.
This made her not want to do it.
The girl waited and waited, and an hour later, when she was drowsy, the snow elf still looked like it was about to die.
Noita was shocked - oh no, why can't this man die?
She stepped forward again to check on the snow elf's injuries and found that the snow elf's internal injuries were improving. The twisted bones were slowly returning to their original positions, and the broken internal organs had been mostly repaired. There was a risk of the snow elf surviving.
There is still a chance that the snow elves can survive.
A little joy dripped from her heart, and then anger squeezed the rest of her emotions into the corner.
As long as she's still alive, I can settle the score with her now.
Noita calculated in his mind how much the snow elves should pay to make up for the losses.
Just as she was calculating, the snow elf suddenly opened her eyes, and she saw the warm world again. The warm light of the residual heat stone made her cry. She did not go to the kingdom of snow, but still lived in this beautiful world.
Someone saved me.
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and the snow elf struggled to stand up, sitting upright and looking at Noita.
Although it was extremely painful to move her broken body, she still endured the pain of her wounds bursting again and maintained her elf elegance.
She had drunk from the Fountain of Youth, and the power of immortality had settled within her, healing injuries and protecting against curses, giving her several more lives than others. Now that she had awakened, it meant her injuries were under control.
She uttered in a voice as broken as the sound of a furnace: "Thank you for your help. I will always remember you and give you any reward you want after returning to the association."
"any?"
Noita repeated the Snow Elf's words, finding them amusing: "How much property do you have left to compensate me for my losses?"
"We have 7,000 gold coins in liquid funds. If we sell our fixed assets, we can raise a total of 13,000 gold coins for you."
"It's a lot of money, but I don't want gold coins." Noita said, "I don't lack money, but I lack a useful weapon."
The snow elf heard the hidden meaning and raised his head slightly, saying proudly, "The elves' hunting art is unparalleled in the world. Just tell me who you want to kill, and I will help you kill him after I recover. If I accidentally fail, I will not betray you either."
"We'll talk about this after we get out," Noita said. "I want to know what happened under the rift, how we angered the crystal scorpion, and where you are from."
"I'm from Jinghai. A while ago, the association hired us, saying there was a medium-sized snowfield-type nest we needed to explore, so we followed them to the Dark Moon Land. As early as the day before yesterday, we entered this snowfield and captured two nodes. This time, it should have been a sure thing, but we didn't expect a group of crystal scorpions lurking near the node and they attacked us."
"group?"
"Yes, a lot of crystal scorpions. Beneath the rift is a complex natural maze. The crystal scorpions were sleeping in the ice, almost fused with it. They suddenly awakened when we took over the node and overwhelmed us."
The node is the key part of the nest. It is the key to producing resources and maintaining the stability of the nest. It is often guarded by monsters.
The snow elf team regarded the super giant ice element as their guardian monster, but they didn't expect that there was someone else guarding the underground node, and they were caught off guard.
Chapter 69: The Elf is Sick
Under tens of millions of tons of ice, multiple crystal scorpions surrounded the snow elf team.
They are extremely terrifying monsters. Their crystal armor has superb anti-spell effects. Their huge size and hard armor give them indestructible strength and unshakable defense. Although they do not show too many extraordinary abilities, the crystal scorpions under the ice can rank among the second-level ranks based on their physical strength alone.
If they were placed in the Dark Moon Land, they would definitely dominate the area and become the overlord.
The snow elves rushed into the crystal scorpion's lair without any intelligence. Although they were well-equipped, they were no match for the enemy and soon fell into a desperate situation.
"I'm the strongest in the team and have the greatest chance of escaping, so they sent me out."
The snow elf recounted the whole story of his escape in a steady tone, as if he was just talking about the trivialities of life rather than a disaster of escaping death.
Her body slowly recovered as time went by. The light snow outside the igloo was gradually becoming heavier, and the snowflakes hit the igloo like a rainstorm washing iron sheets.
Noita listened to the story heartlessly.
If there are a large number of the same type of monsters near a node, it means that the node is an important node, and those crystal scorpions are creations of the node.
The ice house fell into silence. They had just met by chance and had nothing to talk about, so the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the snow elf suddenly said to Noita, "My name is Ice Dragonfly Snow Wind."
The sudden words made Noita look sideways, and when her eyes fell on Ice Dragonfly, she became taciturn again, like a mute person.
It's meaningless.
Noita nodded and unloaded an ice brick. A fierce wind and ice particles rushed into the house, hitting her head and covering her face with a layer of frost. They didn't know where they landed, but the wind and snow had suddenly become so fierce that it could even faintly blow Noita away.
The outside world was as dark as night, with no sunlight and extremely low visibility.
Noita put back the lifted ice bricks, and for safety reasons, he mobilized his spiritual power to reinforce the igloo to prevent it from collapsing under the weight of the wind and snow.
On a cold and windy night, Noita sat quietly for a long time, passing the time by observing Adele's activities through her diary.
She did not fall asleep because the snow elf was an unstable factor. She might be able to gain benefits from her, but she might also murder her.
The snow elves couldn't sleep either, they had the same worries.
The long night wrapped in cold wind was finally over. When the blizzard subsided, both of them were shocked and focused their attention on what was happening outside.
Gradually, the blizzard died down. Noita wanted to lift the ice brick, but found that he couldn't lift it.
The fierce winds of the Silver Peak Snowfields can obliterate an entire village. They bear the wrath of a god, revealing Gaia's merciless earthly aspect. This obliteration can occur in two ways: destroying everything on earth, sending its remains to an unknown distance, or burying everything in cold snow. You encountered the latter.
The diary recounted Noita's plight. She raised her hand in disbelief, sensing the vibrations outside. Sure enough, she felt a thick layer of material pressing down on the igloo. It seemed to be a meter high and growing.
The disappearance of the wind does not mean the dawn of hope, but rather represents the approach of despair.
Noita stood up suddenly and carefully removed an ice brick.
The snow elf watched her actions, confused, until fine snow appeared in the gap. She suddenly stepped forward, pushed Noita away, and carefully touched the layer of ice and snow that was compacted by the snow layer above.
"You can't stay here anymore, you..." The snow elf turned to look at Noita and wanted to call her name, but then he remembered that he didn't know her name.
Noita said at the right time: "My name is Luo Xiweiya."
"Okay, Miss Luo Xiweiya, can you hide behind me?" The snow elf politely asked Noita to hide behind her. Noita did as she wished and slid behind her.
So the Ice Dragonfly had no more worries. She absorbed the magic of nature, her blood flowed faster, and the expansion and contraction of her heart became particularly powerful. The wounds on her body that had not healed burst open again, and heavy blood flowed out.
At the same time, dazzling lightning gathered from her hands, like bamboo shoots growing in her palms, gathering a terrifying power to split everything. This is the whip of heavenly punishment, the thunder from heaven!
——Skill: Calling Thunder and Drinking Wind
Lightning flashed, tearing through the snow with unstoppable force. Magnificent electric lights like flowers danced between the ice and snow. They disappeared quickly, leaving a final sound with the beautiful scenery of the melting ice and snow waterfall. Large pieces of snow melted into hot water due to the high heat and flowed into the ice house along the gap, and the temperature dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Outside, there was heavy snow and strong wind, and the blizzard never stopped.
Inside the ice house, except for the small area behind the snow elf, the rest of the place was more or less affected by the thunder, and the snow began to melt.
"Get out. We can't stay here any longer."
She supported herself on the wall and commanded Noita to climb out by stepping on her like a leader.
Noita didn't intend to waste the escape route she had dug, but with Noita's weight on her, the snow elf's body, which had not yet recovered, would probably vomit blood and faint again if she exerted a little force. So Noita hugged her waist and threw her up, then jumped onto the gap in the ice house and jumped out of the snow in no time.
"what are you doing!"
In the cold wind, the snow elf stood up from the snow angrily. Being thrown onto the snow and rolling around hurt her self-esteem.
"help you."
Noita walked away from the smooth tunnel, looking at the terrain that seemed to have not changed, and identifying the direction.
She took a step forward.
The log shows [You are heading west]
Looking back at historical records, Noita found that he was originally walking south, so if he wanted to return to the entrance, he should go north.
Of course, the snowfield was too vast and she lost her way while flying, so this choice might have been wrong.
But it is better to move forward than to stay where you are and be buried in the snow.
The cold wind whistled past. Ice Dragonfly gritted her teeth and straightened her back with difficulty, trying to imitate Noita's figure and stand in the cold wind. However, in less than a moment, she was blown down by the cold wind and fell to the ground.
She exhaled heavily, and the air she exhaled instantly condensed into ice particles.
The scarred body was not strong enough to support the Ice Dragonfly to move in the extremely cold winter wind, but her proud and sensitive heart made it difficult for her to accept the current situation.
After struggling for a long time and unable to stand up, she lay on the snow with a gloomy face, admitting defeat for the time being.
The snow gradually covered her, and when she was about to be completely buried, Noita lifted her out of the snow pile, reached out to measure her cold body temperature, and frowned.
"you wanna die?"
The low temperature here is close to the snow elf's tolerance limit. If she is buried without wearing warm clothes, she will probably die of hypothermia soon.
"I'm out of strength. That lightning bolt just now consumed the last of my magic power."
what.
Noita thinks she is seriously ill.
Knowing that it was the last bit of magic power, he still had to forcefully activate his skills.
It turns out that all elves have problems.
Noita pinched her waist and asked, "Can you still walk by yourself?"
